  • -Player 1 begins miming some action. Player 2 shouts, "What are you doing?" Player 1 responds with some action other than that which he or she is miming. Player 1 stops performing the action and watches Player 2 perform whatever action Player 1 suggested. After several seconds (just long enough for Player 2 to establish the action he or she is performing), Player 1 shouts, "What are you doing?" Player 2 responds with some action other than that which he or she is miming. Player 2 stops, and Player 1 performs this action. Repeat.

  • +Player 1 begins miming some action. Player 2 shouts, **"What are you doing?"** Player 1 responds with some action other than that which he or she is miming. Player 1 stops performing the action and watches Player 2 perform whatever action Player 1 suggested. After several seconds (just long enough for Player 2 to establish the action he or she is performing), Player 1 shouts, "What are you doing?"

  • Notes: "What are you doing?" should be shouted loudly and clearly. It should sound more like a command than a question: WHATAREYOUDOING!
  • The purpose of this game is not to make a joke of the question ("So, uh, what are yooooooou doin'?"), nor is it to be funny. It is meant to train quick thought and action.
  • Action suggestions should be stated loudly, clearly, and directly. Do not say, "I'm... baking a cake." Skip directly to the verb. "Baking a cake!"
  • Use of sound and environment is highly encouraged.
  • Players may find it helpful to go down the alphabet when giving suggestions for actions. (Advancing aardvarks, Baking a cake, etc.)
